"Trump flew to Alaska to talk to Putin about Ukraine for less than three hours, after which they held a press conference which went so badly even this Fox News reporter couldn't put a positive spin on it," said Oliver, before playing a clip of a Senior White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich describing "the way it felt in the room" as "not good".

In Alaska, military parader President Donald Trump literally had U.S. soldiers on their knees to roll out the red carpet for wanted war criminal Vladimir Putin, who Trump greeted with applause as Putin played him like a pawn.

After leaving Alaska, Trump says he would prefer to "go directly to a peace agreement" to end the war in Ukraine as he prepares to meet Zelensky on Monday.

Both President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered brief remarks, but took no questions, in Alaska.

President Donald Trump shared the "peace letter" from first lady Melania Trump that was hand delivered to Vladimir Putin at the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska on Friday.

"We are seeing accommodation more than we've seen in the past, certainly more than we saw in the last administration," Witkoff said. "And that's encouraging. Now we have to build on that."

The Alaska summit between the U.S. and Russian leaders showcased their mutual animosity for the former president.

Steve Witkoff says Vladimir Putin agreed at his summit with Donald Trump to allow the U.S. and European allies to offer Ukraine a security guarantee resembling NATO’s collective defense mandate.
